How Farmworkers Are Fighting Corporate Exploitation and Winning

Come out for a one-time presentation by the farmworker leaders of one of the most successful and dynamic struggles of our day.  The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) has been on the front lines of the fight for Fair Food for nearly two decades.  Up against some of the largest corporations on the planet, farmworkers from a small corner of rural Florida have successfully shifted the balance of power in our nation's food system.

Hear what it's taken to craft an alternative based on liveable wages, just conditions and dignity in the fields -- and why farmworkers are now calling on Asheville to pick up the torch.
